Eid al-Adha is also known as the ‘festival of sacrifice’. It is one of the two most celebrated Islamic festival around the world. It is also one of the most important days for the Muslim community as it marks the supreme sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim or Abraham.

The legend says that the God challenged the said Prophet to prove his faith in Him. So, he decided to sacrifice something he held very dear to him. His steadfast faith in God resulted him to offer his 13-year-old son, Ismail, for sacrifice.

The legend continues to say that the God moved by Prophet’s willingness to prove his devotion to Him. As a result, the God ordered the angel Jibra’il or Gabriel to Ibrahim’s son with a goat. So, since then, the Muslims celebrate Eid-al-Adha by sacrificing male goats.

It is also known as Eid ul Azha, and it coincides with the completion of the annual holy pilgrimage, Haj. On this day, Muslims offer special Eid prayers, sacrifice livestock, visit relatives, relish sumptuous dishes besides dressing up for the occasion, and share greetings, etc.
